"What do you want, Patrice?"
"Am I not allowed to visit one of my good friends while she's stuck in prison?"
"You and I both know we aren't friends. You tried multiple times to get me to be friends with you, and I made my choice. I chose Nat every time."
"Actually, if I remember right, you didn't pick Nat every time. You quit my music video, Long Distance, because you were too embarrassed to kiss him."
"No, Patrice, you made me think I was. I was stupid enough to let you in my head to allow that to happen, but I made that up to Nat. And I have chosen him ever since."
"And yet you're sitting in here, instead of trying to find him."
"Because you framed me for his kidnapping!"
"Oh yeah. Well, it's about time life was unfair to you."
"You don't know anything about my life, Patrice."
"Oh yes, it must have been so difficult. All the screaming fans, everybody knowing your name, everyone wanting your autograph. I deserve to be famous! I was the most popular girl in our class! Yet when it came down to it, I was nothing compared to the famous Rosalina. Well now who's nothing? Your fans hate you, you're a convict…"
"I haven't been convicted, yet. And I won't be, now that I know that boa was yours. By the way, how did you even know about the boa?"
"Wouldn't you like to know? And I wouldn't get my hopes up for freedom. I'm sure there will be more against you than for you."
"Why are you doing this, Patrice? Don't you realize how crazy this is?"
"Of course I do. Honestly, I got you arrested because I was bored. No, my actual plan is more fulfilling."
"And what is that, exactly?"
"Well, I guess I can tell you, being you're going to be spending a lot of time behind bars. You see, I realized that if I ever wanted to rise to fame, I would have to marry famous. I picked Nat Wolff. So as we speak, he's resting in a nice, safe place to think about who he truly loves. And no, that isn't you. At least, not for much longer. Soon it will be me. You will become nothing, just another girl walking down the street."
"Nat would never abandon me. Even if he tried, the rest of the band wouldn't allow it."
"Rosalina, dear, don't you realize that most of that band is against you? Thomas and David are mad at you. Qaasim and Kristina tolerate you at best. Cooper might genuinely like you. And Alex, well, he won't be too happy when he finds out that his brother is missing because of your stupid fights. If you hadn't had all those fights with Nat, the fans wouldn't hate you, and wouldn't be so easy to convince to do exactly what I wanted."
"You do realize how insane you sound right now, right?!"
"And whose fault is that? Everything comes back to you, Rosalina Tai. But don't you worry about that much longer. Soon you'll be locked away, where nobody will have to suffer dealing with you anymore." She said. I got up and lunged at her. She side stepped and screamed. Within seconds, I had three guards on me. Two grabbing my arms and one standing in front of me, blocking my way to Patrice. They dragged me out of the room. I knew that I had made a mistake trying to attack Patrice, but she made me so angry. The guards tossed me back into my cell, and I started punching my pillow.
"Miss Tai, you're free to go." I was told, as the cell opened up. I walked out of the building. The first people I saw were my friends. I ran to them. That was when I realized that they were all glaring at me.
"What's up, guys?"
"Is it true? You knew where Nat was and didn't tell anyone?" Thomas asked. I was shocked.
"No! If I had any clue where Nat was, I'd have told people and then personally gone to rescue him."
"Then why didn't you do more? Patrice was the one who found him." David told me.
"Patrice was the one who kidnapped him in the first place!"
"How dare you!" Nat yelled at me. I had just noticed him there. "Patrice did nothing but save me. She's a better girl than you ever were, Rosalina."
"Nat, please don't say that, I know you don't mean it."
"I do, Rosalina. I'm sorry, but I don't love you, I love Patrice." He said, and she walked up.
"Hey babe, are we done here?"
"Yeah, we are." He said and he started kissing her. I wanted to attack again. I wanted to ruin her life like she was ruining mine. All I could do was cry.
"Cooper, please. What's going on?"
"I'm sorry, Rosalina, but the band has decided that we can do fine without you. You're being let go."
"No!"
"NO!" I shouted as I woke up. I was panting heavily. I was still in my cell. It was just a dream. A horrible nightmare. I tried to go back to sleep, but just couldn't. So I stared at the ceiling. This was, by far, turning into the absolute worst tour I'd ever been on with the Naked Brothers Band. Nat was in trouble and I couldn't do a thing about it. I just stared at the ceiling for hours.
"Miss Tai." I jumped. I hadn't noticed anyone come.
"Yes?"
"We've called your lawyer in. The results are back. We'll take you to the interrogation room, where we can wait for her. Once she gets here, we'll discuss." I just nodded and got up. He put a hand on my shoulder. I was getting too used to being guided. We got to the interrogation room, and only half an hour later, Polly walked in.
"Good morning, folks."
"Morning Ms. Draper." Officer Ross said.
"Morning, Polly."
"So, I hear that we have news about the case."
"That we do, Ms. Draper. It appears that there is truth to what Miss Tai said. The DNA of one Patrice Johnson was all over that boa. The only way that would be possible is if she owned the boa herself. So that does raise suspicion. However, that does not change the fact that Miss Tai's shoe was still found at the scene, and that didn't have any trace of Miss Johnson's DNA."
"Wasn't there any other traces on it?" I asked.
"Miss Tai, there were tons of traces on your shoe. Every person who has ever touched your shoe would have a trace on there. We don't have time to sort through every single bit of evidence that is on that shoe. Luckily for you, we don't have to. We got those videos. Turns out that you were right, Miss Tai. The videos show you in American Eagle with another girl at the time that Nat Wolff was kidnapped." He said and I let out a large fist pump.
"Does that mean that I can be let go?"
"As soon as everything is processed, yes. You were arrested on charges of kidnapping Nat Wolff, and it's been proven that you had no part in the actual kidnapping. So as soon as everything is processed, you'll be free to go." I smiled. I was getting out of here. I'd be back on the hunt for Nat. By now, Cooper had to have realized we would have to cancel one more concert. A few hours later, I was being escorted out of the jail, but Officer Ross didn't have a hand on me. As we walked into the lobby of the building, I saw her there.
"What are you doing here, Patrice? Haven't you done enough?"
"Rosalina, dear, I'm so glad to see they let you out, It's such a shame that you had to spend any time behind bars at all." She was clearly faking, but everyone else seemed to buy it.
"Thanks…I guess. But why are you here?"
"Why, I came to congratulate my aunt on a successful job well done."
"Wait, who?"
"My aunt, Aunt Polly."
